Thanks for responding. I don't live anywhere near bumper to bumper traffic so I'd have very few reasons to give up a daily manual any time soon (knock on wood). I find driving overall pretty boring with most cars, and being forced to shift makes it much less so. I'll be mellow when I'm dead. My ide...

In days of yore, when carburetors utilized an idle-stop solenoid, I rigged a switch to disrupt power to said solenoid ("Solenoid" - there, I said it. Are you happy?) while the engine was still running. It lowered the idle speed to the point that the vehicle would no longer creep forward when in Drive.

Anyone notice the glaring fault?

It was 2 years ago, the day before Thanksgiving (American), that the deer came bounding across the road and into the path of my vehicle out on I-94. I decided that it was worth ~$2400 of my own money to chip in on top of what my insurance policy payout for "Totalling" the vehicle, towards the repair...

How can that be smooth? Your technique must be good. haha my dad showed me to feel the stick for when it stops vibrating to know when to shift. 'tis much harder in newer cars with cable-linked shifters or otherwise disconnected shifters that don't feel connected to the gearbox. the only synchro box...

A bank or a credit union will often float you a loan for your engagement. Isn't that sort of like taking your transmission and welding the lever so it is stuck in one gear? https://cdn.ebs.newsner.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2017/09/ks.jpg Some say there is no worse torture on the face of this ...

It does seem to be pretty smooth most of the time though. Is that what it is called. I thought I was just being lazy, but coming i...
